Free = good light. Your next step is to figure out how to get it to operate the way you want - odds are that if the batteries were in backwards, and there's no reverse polarity protection, the light was damaged from incorrect use. Time to crack it open and start modding..

Energizer rates the runtime on the amber/orange LED as 500 hours with 3 D cells batteries.

The main light source of the lantern is a krypton bulb which would make the runtime using it much much shorter.
